Most Canadians are nice because we secretly perform a ceremony during each full moon that puts all our nastiness into the geese.

^ Like most animals (except humans), Canada Geese are peaceful and harmless if they are not bothered.

There is so much "nope" in the video. It reminds me of a "service" done for tourists at the Zambezi Falls in Zambia where a ranger holds you by your ankles and you can "experience" going over the falls. Nope. Nope. Nope.

Buckskin gulch is a great place for hiking, BUT one has to be super careful with weather forecast. It's a no go if there are thunderstorms in the area. Totally not the same thing as some artificial experience at Zambezi Falls.

I wonder if they do something similar at Iguazu Falls?
I saw a PBS special about this river. It's also one of the few where you can actually surf at times.

Have you ever wonder what would the most convoluted method of elections be? I present you the electoral system for choosing the Dodge of Venice (used for 500 years).
Thirty electors were chosen by lot, and then a second lottery reduced them to nine, who nominated forty candidates in all, each of whom had to be approved by at least seven electors in order to pass to the next stage. The forty were pruned by lot to twelve, who nominated a total of twenty-five, who needed at least nine nominations each. The twenty-five were culled to nine, who picked an electoral college of forty-five, each with at least seven nominations. The forty-five became eleven, who chose a final college of forty-one. Each member proposed one candidate, all of whom were discussed and, if necessary, examined in person, whereupon each elector cast a vote for every candidate of whom he approved. The candidate with the most approvals was the winner, provided he had been endorsed by at least twenty-five of the forty-one.”

^ Always check your lug nuts (with a manual lug wrench so you can feel it) after a tire change, people.
Sometimes garages over-tighten lug nuts with their various machines, and that can strip the threads, etc.
